  • @Airhead @Dogs , coincidentally i've been thinking about giving my SL1300 with an AT95E cartridge a bit of TLC. My amp and speakers are old and basic so i'm looking into replacing these in time but i was wandering if there's any benefit in treating myself to something like the Paratrace stylus or Goldring 1006 cartridge beforehand? Or would it make more sense replacing the original (and possibly slightly bent) stylus with the same unit until i have a new amp and speakers?

    I know relatively little about hifi and to be honest a lot of my vinyl isn't in the best of condition so any tips would be much appreciated!

  • Also with the AT95E there's a few 3rd party options that get good reviews.

    Probs amp and speakers first if you're not already in the land of diminishing returns. There's definitely some decent second hand bargains out there.

    Also one thing you might consider to upgrade your 1300 is wiring some some interconnectors in as pretty much all of the ones that came hard wired in are garbage.

  • interconnectors

    The phono cable or something else? Any suggestions on what i should be looking for? I've found a few lengthy videos on youtube for servicing the 1300 so will check out them out thanks.
